And so it was that, when it reigned, the end of it came, and the place thereof appeared no more. So the next following stood up and reigned, and had a great time.
14
And it happened that, when it reigned, the end of it came also like the first, so that it appeared no more.
15
Then came there a voice unto it and said,
16
"Hear, thou that hast borne rule over the earth so long. This I say unto thee before thou beginnest to appear no more:
17
There shall none after thee attain unto thy time, neither unto the half thereof."
18
Then arose the third, and reigned as the others before, and appeared no more also.
19
So went it with all the residue one after another, as every one reigned and then appeared no more.
20
Then I beheld, and lo, in process of time the feathers that followed stood up upon the right side, that they might rule also. And some of them ruled, but within a while they appeared no more;
21
for some of them were set up, but ruled not.
22
After this I looked, and behold, the twelve feathers appeared no more, nor the two little feathers;
23
and there was nothing more upon the eagle's body but three heads that rested and six little wings.
